Paramount's black comedy The Taliban Shuffle may have have found the next actor to join Tina Fey and Margot Robbie in the upcoming film, which will be an adaptation of Kim Baker's book of the same title. The wartime memoir follows Baker on her arrival in Kabul and her experiences filing stories about militants, being a woman in wartime Iraq and Pakistan, plus dealing with boredom interspersed with dashes of violence and the promiscuous war-correspondent culture. According to reports, Martin Freeman is in talks to join the cast for the film.THR reported on Freeman possibly joining Fey and Margot in the cast of The Taliban Shuffle. Freeman would play the role of Fey's love interest, a very dedicated Scottish photojournalist. Robbie will play a competing reporter, with Fey having the leading role and also producing the film.
There isn't really a whole lot to say on Freeman joining and his role, to me it's still to vague of a description to really have a heavy opinion on it, also I haven't read the book to know more about the story and the roles. He is a good actor and you can kind of see that he has a comedic side to his personality, so hopefully that will show and shine in this role. I will say that from the cast that is being assembled it looks like this film is probably one to keep an eye on.
